He is very strong in economic analysis and translating it for courts and regulators. He works really well with other counsel with no ego, and is open to engaging with others, which is highly appreciated.
He's a great communicator and has great relationships with the regulator, and when we need something we're put in front of the right people. His communication style, even on very technical issues, has been critical to the success we've had.
